GeneralHelp: Unable To Copy Data (In Structure) from Unmanged MFC/C++ App to .NET Pin
Gaul3-Mar-03 9:05
Gaul3-Mar-03 9:05 
I need to copy and send the data in a private structure from an MFC app to a .NET app. Somehow, the following does not seem to work. When I use the WM_COPYDATA windows message as indicated below, it is not being received by the WndProc on the .NET side, but when I use a private message, it is received. Unfortunately, when I use the private message, the data seems not to be copied across and I get an assertion error for null data. WM_COPY is not received on the .NET side, but when a private message is used, it is received but then Marshal.PtrToStructure asserts reporting a null value.

Using COM interop is not an option. The client thinks that COM will slow things down as the function is called thousands of times.

Does any one have a suggestion, or a better approach?

Thanks

Gaul

Structure definition on the MFC C++ side
----------------------------------------
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" { // Assume C declarations for C++
#endif

typedef struct tagTSMSG
{
int nMsgID;
int nObjectID;
int nValue;
int nInstID;
}TSMSG;

#ifdef __cplusplus
} // End of extern "C" {
#endif // __cplusplus


Structure definitions on the .NET side:
--------------------------------------
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct TSMSG
{
public int nMsgID;
public int nObjectID;
public int nValue;
public int nInstID;
}

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct COPYDATASTRUCT
{
public IntPtr dwData;
public int cbData;
public IntPtr lpData;
}
